My View of Life on the Dock
When you have company, Cape Ann Museum is a “must see”. My daughter and I wandered through the exhibits at a leisurely pace enjoying the variety of exhibits and artwork. If you haven’t been in a while, I suggest stopping in, even if you aren’t entertaining company.
A wild and beautiful Saturday afternoon with a surfer contemplating the waves at Brace Cove, and the Boston skyline at sunset with windblown crests passing Eastern Point.
Lots more photos of today’s spectacular surf to post tomorrow when I have time to organize.
Way, way off across the Great Marsh, and perched atop the tallest tree, could it be an Osprey this early in the season? Yes, I think it is! The photo is terrible and greatly cropped but good enough for an id. Spring is just around the corner!
Osprey are a species of hawk. Their nickname is Fish Hawk because that is their preferred diet. You will see them hunting over the water and pairs will soon be building their nests of sticks. Snapshots of what to look for –
Loved seeing the Bacalau, Tripe, Merluzzi and Monkfish!
While taking a walk on Saturday morning the wind helped me more along. The ocean was roaring. Feeling so blessed.
Formally Taught … and Not includes work by established artists who frequently exhibit in galleries, museums and public institutions, and inspiring work by Senior Citizens in the art program at The Rose Baker Senior Center — creative people whose important life’s work has circumvented formal art training. Now with time and the passion to explore, these Seniors are continuing in their journey of self-expression. Their artwork is illuminating and proof that we are all equipped with a unique set of sensibilities informed by years of aesthetic practice implicit in daily living — namely observation and the practice of evaluating how things look. The gallery is grateful to the following who participated in the exhibition:
Gabrielle Barzaghi, Coco Berkman, Deborah Bohnert, Anthea Brigham, Carolyn Budrow, Helen Burgess, Kay Carpenter, Nateley Daley, Rob Diebboll, Rob Green, Pippy Gulianno, Joy Halsted, Susan Harrigan, Barbara Jobe, Ed Leavitt, Paul L’Heureux, Marian Linden, Barbara Maddix, Joann Maddix, Judy Magee, Jeffrey Marshall, Maria Millefoglie, Barbara Moody, Adin Murray, Mary McCarl, Gen McNamara, James Paradis, Jenny Parisi, Hans Pundt, Bob Quinn, Doreen Ross, Valerie Sadler, Lynne Sausele, Linda Sojda, Dawn Southworth, Lois Stillman, Bill Sumner, Ed Touchette

I admit, the sandwich board on the sidewalk promising a Reuben Sandwich drew me in. It was spur of the moment, but I’m so glad that sign called out to me! Blood orange mimosa, warm popover and a Reuben. Perfect.
